Maybe a description of the Self-fulfilling prophecy? I've never seen it come up, I've only seen an evaluation of it. I also have a feeling the Social Learning Theory or the role of media and maybe the content analysis or article summary.

For Child, I think maybe daycare will come up.

I have to agree with you - I've been working through my revision notes for unit 4 as we're nearing the end of covering everything in my psychology class and its stressing me out!

What applications are you all doing for unit 3 and how do you feel about the content? I'm doing criminal and child, which I'm finding alright really, I'm just quite anxious as to what potential questions that they could ask in the exam. Though, honestly, the thing I'm stressing out the most about is the timing in both exams - its the only thing I seem to be having significant difficulty with.

Im doing criminal and health for unit 3. There are just too many subtopics in child i just can't comprehend thats why I switch to health psychology instead. How are guys doing for practical evidence? Unfortunately, my lecturer seems to forget about it and we just started doing last week i got zero marks for that part in test.

Unit 2 revision will help you with issues and debates - you'll have an advantage if something to do with unit 2 comes up! Will be needed for Key issue, contributions to society, social control (the different therapies you do in learning) and those 'real life' 18 markers. I did unit 1 resit and describing and evaluating cue dependency theory was needed for my 18 marker in the mock...I was glad

Hey, I'm doing child and criminal. I have a massive issue with time, especially for unit 4...I did a mock and had to miss out 2 questions and I didn't finish the 18 marker. Does anyone have some tips on time management in the exam?

Does anybody have any useful information they can share about the content analysis and article summary? Because I have no idea how to write about them.
Also, does anyone have notes on the clinical key issue that they could share? Or could you at least tell me what you guys are doing for it? I'm supposed to be doing it on anorexia but we really didn't cover it at all and I don't know what the actual 'issue' is.

I guess what I would recommend is write faster and also don't spend too much time on one question write quickly and put as much points down as the marks allocated then move on that way you can get through the paper and if you have time you at the end you can go back to the questions and add extra pointers! Even if you are stuck move on and come back to the question!

With the key issue it's basically this
I done mine on anorexia and I targeted mine on the family of the person who had anorexia telling them what they can do to help giving them information about the disorder I included pictures and other information form the NHS website so there I used secondary website this is good because it allows you to get Data that others have gathered less time consuming and you can pick out which is relevant to you also I added colour to make it eye catching so it would attract people and they would pick it up

Well if it was describe the key issue for criminology you'd talk whether if eye witness testimony was reliable or if offender profiling is accurate when the accounts are taken from others
